🎮 How to Play

Welcome to Chess Online! The goal is to checkmate your opponent's king. Players take turns moving one piece per turn. Start by learning how each piece moves: pawns march forward but capture diagonally, knights jump in an L-shape, bishops slide diagonally, rooks move in straight lines, and the queen combines both. The king is your most vital piece! Capture enemy pieces by moving onto their square. Protect your king at all costs and use strategic attacks to corner your opponent's king for the win. The game ends in checkmate, a stalemate draw, or if a player resigns.

🎯 Objectives

Your primary objective is to achieve checkmate, trapping your opponent's king so it cannot escape capture. Short-term goals include controlling the center of the board, developing your pieces quickly, and protecting your king by castling. Success comes from strategic planning, anticipating your opponent's moves, and tactically capturing their pieces to gain a material advantage. You can also win if your opponent runs out of time or resigns. Always think several moves ahead to outmaneuver your rival and claim victory!
